Re: General Obligation Healthy Life Center Loan Agreement Ballot Proposition
Our File No. 419370-62
Dear Diane:
In response to a request from Duane Pitcher, I have prepared proceedings that may be used at the
City Council meeting on May 28"' to set the date for the election on a General Obligation Healthy Life
Center Loan Agreement. At Duane's request, I have left blanks for the amount of the loan agreement and
bonds to be issued, as well as for the date of the special election.
The proceedings attached include the following items:
1. Resolution setting the date for the election.
2. County Auditor's Order Regarding Conduct of Election.
3. Attestation Certificate with respect to the validity of the transcript.
4. Certificate with respect to the publication of the Notice of Special Election by the Story
County Auditor. After the County Auditor has arranged to have the Notice published, we would
appreciate it if you would help us complete our records by filling out this Certificate and obtaining an
affidavit of publication from the newspaper.
Section 47.6 of the Code of Iowa provides that a City shall inform the County Commissioner of
Elections of the proposed date of election at least 46 days in advance of that proposed date and obtain
T�lj written approval from the Commissioner of such date. The attached resolution directs you to give such
notice by submitting a copy of the resolution to the Story County Auditor, and the Auditor should sign the
Order Regarding Conduct of Election to ratify and confirm the details of the election as set out in the
resolution.
Please return one fully executed copy of these proceedings as soon as they are available.
If you should have any questions, please contact me.
Very truly yours,
Robert E. Josten
